underway. amarilla mohammad thanks for joining us dozens of protesters have been killed in may and bar as military leaders put on a show of strength for armed forces day a general has want to demonstrate as they risk being shot in the head if they continue to take to the streets hundreds of people have died since pro-democracy rallies began after last month's military coup. those who came out to protest knew they were risking their lives the army said as much before saturday's protests against me and mass military coup across the nation soldiers opened fire killing dozens of protesters many shot in the head this footage shows security forces beating an unarmed man unconscious it's been one of the deadliest days since

protests began a show of force as the military holds a parade in the capital not theodore thousands of soldiers flanked by rockets and tanks jointer leader on he hung condemned the protests as terrorism and again promised there will be democratic elections. as soon as the state of emergency is over there will be free and fair elections and duties will be returned to the state . but no date has yet been set protests have not let up since the military coup began at the beginning of february demonstrators are demanding the release of imprisoned civilian leader unsung sochi. hundreds of dead thousands imprisoned me this side is backing down in this brutal power struggle. now dave grandmamma's a journalist following the situation in kuala lumpur he sent us this update.

there's no question about it that this is an army at war with its own people and e.m.r. i mean there are reports credible reports of more than 90 people killed today so we could be looking at a death toll potentially of more than 400 total since the military coup was staged on february 1st so many of these people shot in the head i mean the warning came on state media about the possibility of demonstrators being shot in the head today will they been doing that for weeks protesters have been getting shot in the head so many armed civilians dead at the hands of the country's security forces this is part of the military plan to just terrorize the civilian population just like me m.r. who does and past have done well this noon to is doing the same thing not only with the number of people that they're killing on the streets and in their homes but they're just terrorizing them with nighttime raids i mean i've spoken to people in the amur this week and tell me they are terrified every time they hear a knock on the door and sometimes it's not a knock on the door sometimes it's a door being kicked down and security forces rate you see people who are in custody

of the security forces wounded people without weapons clearly in custody no way to fight back and yet they get beaten by the security forces sometimes people get taken away by the security forces and they turn up dead the next day it is just terrorizing the civilian population the generals of me i am are out for the reason and to protect the fortune that they've amassed over decades through this country's natural resources to the businesses they control so many of the people in the population live in poverty these generals are millionaires and they're trying to protect their regime. now the operators of egypt's swiss canel say technical and human error could have caused the huge container ship to run aground engineers are working to refloat the evergreen the vessel has been blocking one of the world's busiest shipping lanes for the last 5 days the chairman of the canal thora he hopes a dredging operation will free the ship in the next few days we. have more on this

that speak to bill cavanagh who is that basically currently in cork i know and he is a ship captain also knows this with cal fire while having passed so it's a number of times well yes so we knew that strong winds were being blamed for this ship blocking the canal now the swiss authorities chairman is talking about technical or human error what are the implications of this well 1st of all it's going to take a long time to investigate this incident and it's not possible right now to define exactly what the problem is in all these critical incident cases in safety critical industries it takes a long time to conduct an inquiry and it is really very rarely one single reason why an incident occurs it is usually a number of incidents that occur in what we call an error chain and eventually those incidents lead up to those errors lead up to an incident so it's very difficult at the moment to protect or to analyze exactly what happened we do know

some information we know that there are wind was strong we know that the vessel was steering somewhat a rush actually prior to the incident was ordered to get the voice data recorder and analyzed a technical problem there is a no q cost to defense of the reason for the incident so kathak haven't i could you just explain the technicals around this how difficult is it to navigate through the canal. for most festival is not so difficult because it's pretty straightforward it's less than 200 kilometers in links and it's pretty straight the routes are very straight north so it's almost and then he ships travelling convoys what i would like to emphasise wherever is that in recent years ships of course very large very big these are make it ships that carry 20000 containers and i believe that the

technology to support these ships has not caught up with the therefore talks tend to be the same talk as they use in previous years procedures tend to be the older procedures i believe when you need new precautions and new procedures to get these ships troops safely motions to get through safely but they're not as big as the ships and i think there's been about 75 incidents in the last decade which is quite old but nevertheless ships do go aground conventional ships however make your ships need additional precautions because risk and just very quickly what would you say would be a good thing about point in terms of preventative measures that could be done to try and you know professor choice like that's happening again i think to have to conduct a risk analysis regarding mega ships compared traditional size vessels and warning means would be to have talks. to the ships at all times throughout the

passage so there would have been bounced around on tension so if there's any deviation from the expected course talks could at least assisting thinking among course cuts and bill kavanagh thank you very much indeed for joining us here on the company. thank you. let's take a look at other stories making headlines around the world security's forces in mozambique say and on the group has seized the northern town of palma * it's close to a number of major international projects gas projects rather fighting has been going on in the area for days forcing hundreds of people to flee. and police in belarus have detained dozens of protesters and several journalists the opposition are calling for more anti-government rallies the protests began when president alexander lukashenko claimed victory in a disputed election. demonstrations died down over the winter. and women are protesting against turkey pulling out of

a landmark european antiviolence treaty critics and president of the once party say the agreement encourages divorce and undermines the traditional family unit. now at least 19 people have been killed in the collision between 2 passenger trains in egypt emergency crews have cleared the wreckage from the line but the cause of the crash is still more clear president of the c.c. has ordered an investigation. twisted steel and mangled carriages grim proof of the deadly impact of 2 trains colliding in egypt province. locals and rescue teams worked into the night pulling injured passengers from the wreckage and recovering the bodies of those who had died. i thought that the train collided with a car or took took and after leaving the house i found the 2 trains hitting each

other i went running wearing my home clothes and we found people lying on the ground women and children and we removed the deceased people and took the injured to the ambulances. long enough ago where a lot of the rubble. that i put some wooden planks of the ambulances would be able to cross the canal it was a mess many people were stuck inside the trains no one to carry them out. or 30 say the accident happened after someone pulled the emergency brakes on one of the trains causing the tree trains to collide at least 2 carriages were overturned . agent has been marred by train accidents in recent years its paws safety record is blamed on a crumbling infrastructure and insufficient maintenance. this is unlikely to be the last tragedy to unfold on egypt's railroads. as take

a look at an update on the pandemic the philippines is imposing a strict new doctor in the capital manila and nights curfew will apply from 6 pm and indonesia is expecting a slowdown in the nation's next month as india delays shipments of astra zeneca vaccines and germany hopes or receive its 1st every all of johnson and johnson single discovered $1000.00 vaccine next month. now imagine touring the parents of egypt or climbing much a pitcher without a face mask or vaccination it sounds like a dream but for many it's now a reality well a virtual reality technology is getting in popularity and giving users an escape from being in lockdown. tryin over to me is off to england in seconds she's reached the river thames from her home in the us

amy likes to visit the british town where her sister lives if she can't be there in real life shell at least be there in spirit for some ritual reality travel is filling the void created by the pandemic. i'm justified because as well you know it could be cheaper than therapy and last longer and you know in different ways a new form of self care friends and family from opposite sides of the globe can travel together while social distancing though amy can't feel the breeze are trying new foods virtual trips offer her an instant escape there's so much kind of. so much that you can get from it. just feeling like you can travel or feeling like you can go out of your house or feeling like you can interact really in meaningful ways with other people from around the world or

friends and family in a shared in what feels like a shared physical space. travel without quarantine and jet leg now finally a reality. now for viewers in europe don't forget that the clocks go forward by an hour as we move from saturday into sunday and from winter to summer time and while we're on the subject that's not a man with a special interest in time passing. some people have partners children or pets for company to cut through bought is crazy about clocks. around $365.00 of them. but who has time to count most people might be taught by the constant wall of noise not to. as if. you can get my clothes so the love of my life and i love them above all else

in the evening other people take sleeping pills so they can sleep i said to my comfy chair to turn everything off look at my clocks listen to the ticking and watch the hands moving and then i feel so calm and relaxed i can go to bed and sleep suddenly off. having a massive collection of timepieces requires plenty of patients not least the round the clock cleaning effort but so too the painstaking business of seeing them twice a year for daylight savings. back in the day when i was still a bit hectic i used to have cloth parties i invited friends around between 2 and 3 am we changed all the clocks but that was when i was young and beautiful you'll never do it all alone this concert i know. no one to help the house to get started on the job 5 days before the clocks change. when you're watching the news live from but then more well the is coming up at the

top of the hour but up next our magazine show reports which follows a surgeon battling the current virus and cannot be out i'm here to monitor thanks very much indeed for watching take care. by dusty very muddy tires and drums we deliver urgent lifesaving boxes we give our everything to reach those who need us the most every box feeding their futures. boxes full of our hope of lifesaving food and are so much more down roads with no names we feel asleep to live a relentless in our promise to make every delivery special and. not

just next day but every day. thousands of children are still waiting for their delivery sponsor a box today so together we can deliver features. the only way to get here is by air or ship dr camino create though it has organized an airlift to bring much needed help during the covert pandemic today they're off to tim b. key near colombia's pacific coast this dangerous area is teeming with armed groups since the beginning of the pandemic the need has become even greater. holders not scalpel handles not. prices they say doctor the compressors

on steroids when it's so much is lacking in the. dr coming up the 80 works as a plastic surgeon in bogota where he performs cosmetic surgery but also helps disfigured accident victims. he lives with his wife in one of the better neighborhoods of the city his housekeeper comes to clean regularly. the doctor says goodbye to her and leaves for the day. we have the more you're.

full of the us but every day i see this contrast between my own life. and wants going on that in my country he said i think the opportunities life is granted now come with the responsibility. of. the year. when the pandemic began dr prieta started collecting donations. such as masks medicines and disinfectants mostly from big companies and 5 donors. from the. volunteer pilots at the pacific civil air patrol for example are also happy to support dr prieto in his efforts. through its use. occasionally there are complications to deal with. pilot jose luis ollie better those talks about

a recent mishap while attempting to land after being warned of cows on the runway he was forced to fly over and restart his landing maneuver. during trips to remote areas such experiences are commonplace with no pence's around the landing strip no tower and no air traffic controllers. fortunately upon arriving at tenby key he finds the runway empty. at the beginning of the pandemic the community was virtually cut off. there is no road leading here and since last march air traffic has been a regular. this presents a problem for the inhabitants who receive food and clothing by air and ship and

hospital supplies are particularly vital the hospital is responsible for a. around $20000.00 residents in the surrounding area and it lacks even the most basic facilities no blood reserves coba tests or oxygen tanks regional health official carmen yasmeen had none does is exasperated. them off and that's not only this but what i say we have many remote areas and it can take people 7 or 8 hours to get here. and when they do they often can't be treated. then they referred to larger hospitals but that cost time and money and would have approved fatal for the patient. and this hospital is a lifeline for all of. that when we think that. this woman needs help for her daughter she's been suffering from severe diarrhea

for days. they even took a boat to reach the hospital. but to her dismay the doctors can't help. that's what they want but as i've been here for 3 days with my daughter. she let it examine her but couldn't give her the treatment she needed. but the diarrhea went away on its own. people. even though the hospital has the best equipment in the area at the moment there's no running water. time and again the power goes out protective clothing is also scarce. so dr ed got it by nias is delighted to receive dr p. a toast protective masks. is certainly important down there for. a very important as it's the only way for us to fight the pandemic. that they don't but

it's even more important to talk to the people and build awareness. that i would never know on there that they party here at night with almost no one wearing masks . you only really see masks in the hospital. and in all that the folks there in the middle of the dr pretty toe does what he can . do that several people from the area have gathered in the waiting room. where he is answering questions about a cold bit. of. this in television when they talk about the coronavirus. sometimes they talk about the effectiveness of the vaccination. a little over a longer period of time. so if i were to get vaccinated today how long would i be immune. and does it make a difference if i've had the 1st or 2nd chance and i want to grab. one

with over here but i have almost a look at this hour i can only tell you what we know so far since the vaccine is quite new. we're still learning a lot. but some studies have shown the vaccine provides 8 months of immunity on. such on with this it might be a bit more. welcoming we're not sure. what and we have to wait and see. if you. know dr prieto treats a boy with a severely infected hand having to make do with few supplies in an attempt to avoid having to amputate the child's finger instead of putting the boy under he uses a local anesthetic with no sterile gloves or compresses may be needed in making that a finding inequality is hard to go on with and with when you're in

a hospital like it is that you really understand the world of media spotlight of the access of a lot i don't know what it means to not have access to health can that be a whoop whoop of us you know that i thought what it means when doctors want to help their fellow human beings is not caught. because they don't have the results it was worth of food. and they don't have the connections to the state government who are now in dollars. for the people here there are bigger concerns than the virus. masks play hardly any role in their everyday lives. there's not much work in the region and people are afraid of criminal gangs since the area is a corridor for drug trafficking. dr prieto feels it's

all the more important to win over people's trust that's why he makes house calls. today he's brought masks and explains how to use them to protect against the virus always ask. for that only one of them he explains to this woman how to use a mask correctly some of it was he was a good us so we had a body just like he offers her several of that but asks her to dispose of them properly you know what i thought i am going to cuba. he shows her that she should wear them with the blue side facing out this is what i brought up with the quote for. it's important to his donors that he documents his work since donations often don't reach their proper destination so that i was. a very good idea dr prieto tells the boat driver he's ready to set off again.

after delivering the masts he heads back and. i really responsible i think of 1st they were a bit skeptical and dismissive of the mosques. but then they were really thankful it was going to as i hope don't use them whenever possible i'm going to what was the room. back in tim beaky there's good news a military helicopter is arriving with the 1st vaccines with 400 doses for health care workers and people over 80 this is. the town has been waiting a long time for this colombia's vaccination program got up to a slow start but with vaccines now reaching even remote areas there is now at least hope. just one little jab and the 1st doctor in to be key

is bax a native. new. york. doctor prieto hopes the backs of nations will change the public mood making people less skeptical of the health measures. on his way back to the airstrip he stops one last time and spontaneously hands out a few more masks. because i think i was such a bonehead i feel like we haven't done much and a lot is still lacking. help on the area the pandemic has left behind deep wounds in aquia inequality and injustice persist. but i'm really still our actions aren't in line and as honest as i see anything each day we are creating

hope that was the one that can really affect change. then and there and hopefully it will help us live in a better country one dad and i don't buy the whole. dr coming up radiator started his airlift in the pandemic. but he wants to continue it even if everyone is vaccinated and the virus is finally brought under control.
